Alro Portable Ordering System (APOS)

Alro Portable Ordering System (APOS):

APOS is Alro’s low cost, highly efficient, portable barcode scanning system for inventory replenishment. APOS is a visual reordering
system using Kanban replenishment principles. It works well with lower cost
items in “free-issue” areas throughout the plant or in central crib areas where a perpetual on-hand inventory control system does not make sense.

Highlights of the Alro Portable Ordering System (APOS):

Helps you take control of items typically not tracked through other inventory control systems

Streamlines replenishment and paperwork process

Automates the ordering process through a dedicated visual inventory replenishment program

Easily manages open access areas, central cribs or tooling in cells

Process:

User provides Alro with a list of tools to manage using APOS

User prints barcoded labels for each item to affix to shelf or bin location

User scans barcoded label for each item needing to be replenished

User plugs scanner into PC

PC will retrieve from Alro descriptions, pricing and reorder quantities

User adds PO number if desired and order is uploaded to Alro

Alro Industrial Supply also offers SmartCell™, an advanced technology innovation designed to provide tooling
security, tracking and auto-replenishment at the point of use or within a crib environment.
